The lobby of the Penta Hotel is unusual. Reception is at one end of a very large and empty bar. The whole thing was whimsical and slightly unreal, like a reality TV house set. Out the back there's a big, bright breakfast room where the choice of foods was excellent, even if the staff forgot to serve us coffee and... More

The Penta Hotel is in a great location right next to the city center with nice restaurants and shops. The hotel has a cool look and excellent service. The lobby bar with pool table is a great place to grab a few beers. The rooms may be simple but very nice beds and trendy soaps in the bathroom. Would recommend... More

Just what we needed after a long hot drive from Austria. A pleasant welcome at reception where we were told that it was the last day of the Trier Festival which we might like to visit. It seemed to start just round the corner from the hotel and we followed the sound of the music a short distance to a... More

Such a strange mix of styles. The reception desk is also the bar. The rooms are just big enough and remind me of 1970s design, but everything in there is new. It's so retro kitsch that my wife just kept raving about it. There are fireplaces everywhere, including the bedrooms if you turn on the TV. (It's a looping video... More

We had to amend our travel plans at the last minute and, as we'd booked on a pre-paid deal, thought we would lose the reservation and still have to pay for the missed dates. Luckily, after I'd explained our situation over the phone, they agreed to change the dates with no penalty, for which we were very grateful. The rooms... More

Good Very good location- large rooms- clean- large new TV- Great shower water pressure – great bath amenities- hair dryer- helpful reception - free large bottle of water- good reading light. Bad No refrigerator- no coffee machine or kettle- no clock- hard to wash your face on sink as glass shelf is in the way. You have to pay 9... More

OK, let's face it: where can you find a hotel, these days, where a disco glitter ball is hung from the ceiling of the reception, lighted by colored red and green beams? :-) Well, in the Penta hotel in Trier, that is. A strange experience, I can tell you, but also something that immediately brings a smile on the exhausted... More

We stayed for 2 nights in May - the hotel public areas - large lobby, bar, lounge areas etc were flashy and trying very hard to be trendy. The room was comfortable, reasonably spacious & well equipped - with good clean ensuite -( i seem to remember it being a bit 70's retro avocado colour, but in a modern style)... More

Stayed 1 night in September. Hubby and I checked in together, and when we arrived in our room, it had 1 twin bed. Odd, since both of us were at the desk at check-in and our reservation was for a double. Also annoying after a 6-hour drive. Nonetheless, the issue was resolved immediately and we were upgraded to a suite.... More
